Rancho RS5000X Front Shock Absorbers for 1992-2003 Dodge Ram 2500 Van 2WD

Part Number: RS55199

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series redefines entry-level performance by utilizing a patented Progressive Engagement Valving system to improve vehicle stability and control. Designed specifically for the Dodge Ram 2500 Van, these twin-tube gas-pressurized shocks provide a smooth, comfortable street ride while maintaining the durability needed for heavy-duty applications. By minimizing aeration and shock fade, this set ensures consistent damping performance during daily commutes or long-distance hauling.

Features

• Progressive Engagement Valving: Custom-tuned internal shim stacks provide early flow at low speeds to ensure smooth ride quality and reduced harshness.
• Twin-Tube Gas Pressure: A 150-PSI nitrogen gas charge provides a consistent damping response to ensure reduced aeration and foaming.
• Heavy-Duty Construction: A 2.25-inch reserve tube provides increased oil capacity to ensure cooler operating temperatures and longer service life.
• Nitro-Carburized Piston Rod: The hardened 16mm rod provides superior scuff resistance to ensure protection against debris and corrosion.
